- That is not true. Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself, however we are not capable of preventing Indian hegemony to be established in S.Asia over other countries. This is where our alliance with China comes into its own. With Chinese Navy patrolling day in night out from Beijing to Gwadar through Myanmar, Bangladesh, Maldives and Sri Lanka, all Pakistan would have to do is to tag along. String of pearls would not only benefit China but also Pakistan Navy.
- Then there is the aspect of maritime trade between S.Asia and China. India would NEVER be able to match the magnitude of trade between these countries and China nor it can provide a substitute. Therefore it becomes easier for China to stop India from building alliances
- Then there is India's export of terrorism and naked aggression towards its neighbours.
- India has supported separatism against China in Tibet and is effectively supporting ETIM.
- India created a civil war in Sri Lanka and fully supported LTTE.
- India invaded Pakistan during its civil war after supporting and training insurgents for over a decade which resulted in the division of Pakistan. It is keeping Kashmir under occupation and has killed almost a 100,000 Kashmiris.
- India bankrolled, armed and trained Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.
- India is currently arming, financing and training marxist terrorist groups in Balochistan, as well as Harakat-i-Islami Uzbekistan to be used as a proxy against Pakistan.
India will not be able to forge an alliance in S.Asia, mainly due to its own hegemonic attitude which is a product of overblown ambitions. Pakistan is the 2nd most powerful nation in South Asia, we have our own standing in China and Middle East while our relations boom in C.Asia and Russia.We have to mark our own ambitions and fully support China's South Asian project. China is much better for South Asians than India. A country built on Caste Hinduism cannot claim to create equality in S.Asia as caste system forms their psyche. They should try and be equal themselves first.
